Please be so kind as to share your thoughts on, and examples of email confidentiality statements that your company uses to indemnify you and your company from use/republication of your email.
My research so far shows that you probably cannot protect yourself with the same degree of assurance of the "privacy of one's papers" as used in the common context of letters and such via US Mail. Anything can be perverted and twisted against one's best intentions and private use, especiall any thing broadcasted over the air or a wire.
But, in the very least, we should be able to put unauthorized use on notice of expected privacy.
thanks,

I copied this from an attorney's email, so it must be good. 🙂
